A Walk on the Wild Side (2019-2020)
The Creature Creeps!
October 17-20 and 23-26, 2019
An ancient castle, creaking doors, a mad scientist, his misshapen assistant, a grim housekeeper, secret laboratory, shrieks from the depths of the cellar, disappearing villagers, an incredibly stalwart and stupid hero of sterling character, the scientist's absolutely dopey daughter, and so many laughs we lost count.

The Lion in Winter
January 16-19 and 22-25, 2020
It’s Christmas 1183 in Chinon, France, and the aging King Henry II has planned a reunion where he hopes to name his successor to the throne of England. With the fate of Henry’s empire at stake, everyone engages in their own brand of deception and treachery, making for a very lively Yuletide!
The Elephant Man
John Merrick, a horribly deformed young man – victim of rare skin and bone diseases – becomes the star freak attraction in traveling sideshows. Found abandoned and helpless, he is admitted to London’s prestigious Whitechapel Hospital. Under the care of celebrated young physician Frederick Treves, Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy, only to be denied his ultimate dream – to become a man like any other.
Written by Bernard Pomerance, Directed by Dale Kelly
Due to COVID-19, our 2019-2020 season came to an early end. We had to make the very difficult decision to cancel our spring production of The Elephant Man (and it would have been AMAZING!).
Although we’re disappointed that we weren’t able to bring this beautiful production to the stage in April 2020, the well-being of our volunteers and patrons was of the utmost importance to us. We hope that one day we will be able to entertain you with this compelling story.
We want to thank all of our patrons who donated the cost of their cancelled show tickets for The Elephant Man back to Stage 43 in the spring of 2020. We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to the cast and crew for the incredible talent, dedication and passion they brought to this project.
